Not having a pressure pot, I was pretty much forced to send off some wood.
Well, it arrived today. Just wish I could describe what it looks like....words fail the beauty that will be displayed when I get it turned into a Sedona Rollerball pen.
I sent off a log(8x8x14 inches all), and received 42 7/8sq x 6" blanks. The wood? Wormed out persimmon!
The guy used an acrylic swirled mix of resin of three different colors per blank. Most blanks were a mixture of black-gold-purple, blue(aqua)-pink-white, maroon-gray-burgandy....and more.
Wood prior to being sent off was worth maybe $2.00 for the whole chunk. Now, it's worth over $600 for the bunch, and when put on pen kits.....$3,150.00!!!!!
So what am I trying to tell ya'll?
The wood you have sitting around that you may think is completely worthless can be very profittable.
